History
The date of building's original construction is unknown, though one of the chimney stacks bears the year 1705, and it is known that the building was used as a tannery by 1707. Between years 1852 and 1858 The Royal Oak pub opened for the first time.[2]
The Royal Oak pub was listed as a Grade II building on January 6, 1966.[1]
The pub had to close in 2007, and in 2012 locals fought off a planning application to turn the building into a house. After that, in 2015, local investors had bought the pub, and after an extensive rennovation project it was reopened again.[2][3]
